On May 27th, Mayor Nutter and ASAP joined forces with Mayor Wilson Goode, Governor Ed Rendell, and former U.S. Ambassador Joe Torsella for a special tribute to ASAP’s founder and tireless advocate for children, Marciene Mattleman as she prepares to step down as ASAP’s board chair. In front of a crowd of more than 100 family, friends, and colleagues, these dignitaries celebrated Marciene’s legacy perhaps best described by Mayor Goode: "one of the most unselfish, dedicated public servants" in the history of Philadelphia.

The tribute also served as the formal announcement of the Marciene Mattleman Founder’s Fund, ASAP’s effort to honor Marciene’s legacy by raising $500,000 to support safe and enriching after school programs for young people throughout the city.

We certainly hope you will join us in supporting the Marciene Mattleman Founder’s Fund to help us honor Marciene and provide activities that teach important skills and broaden horizons for more than 5,000 kids in Philadelphia. To do so, please visit our donation page by clicking here.
